Have you ever heard the sound of makeup heartbreak? It sounds like broken pieces of eyeshadow sliding around in a MAC holiday palette… 🙁

Yes, this happened.

But I didn’t let it stop me! To paraphrase the great Celine Dion, “My heart will go on…using these shadows with my makeup brushes.”

I finally took the new MAC Enchanted Eve Eyes/Warm Eye Shadow X 6 Palette ($39.50) from the MAC holiday 2015 collection (coming to the MAC website Oct. 18 and MAC counters and stores Oct. 22) out for a spin this week in the hopes that it would perform a better than the Navy version, and the verdit?The Enchanted Eve Eyes/Warm Eye Shadow X 6 Palette includes…

Veluxe Pearl Eye Shadow in Seasonal Spirit, a warm yellowish tan

Frost Eye Shadow in Moodmaker, an oaky brown

Satin Eye Shadow in Sax Appeal, a soft taupe-brown

Velvet Eye Shadow in Bewitchin’, a warm chestnut brown

Matte Eye Shadow in Charcoal Brown, a muted taupe-brown

Lustre Eye Shadow in Restrospeck, a bleach blonde

A dual-ended 217/266 brush (not pictured above)

Well, the shadows are a little more pigmented than the shadows in the Navy palette, which is nice, but they aren’t much easier to blend. Sadly, I don’t think they’re as smooth as the shadows in the MAC permanent line either.

It’s a nice combination of neutral colors, so if you’re on the market for neutrals and don’t have much of a MAC collection now, it’s probably worth considering… I think the packaging looks pretty, but I’d still probably opt to get one or more of the shadow singles in the MAC permanent line instead.

What a bummer that the pigmentation isn’t totally there, I’ve never bought a MAC pre-made palette because I’ve always heard this was an issue. Pretty shades, though!Kelly B. recently posted … Fall OOTD: Get Mad for Plaid!

Enhancing the requests for that gorgeous top..!
Show us more, please! Where did you get it? I have a thing for turtlenecks and any print with a black background will have my keen interest 🙂
By the way, lip color are you wearing? It matches perfectly with the red/brick tones on your top!
